January is packed with action, and fans are eagerly looking forward to it. First, UFC 311 is set to take place on January 19. Following that, fans will turn their attention to one of Bellator’s biggest events, where Russian fighter Usman Nurmagomedov will defend his lightweight title against Paul Hughes. Interestingly, Hughes has called on Conor McGregor to corner him for the fight, though McGregor’s involvement hasn’t been confirmed. Either way, Usman doesn’t seem concerned about McGregor’s potential presence.
Usman Nurmagomedov remains undefeated in the organization, but Paul Hughes stands a real chance to dethrone him and claim the lightweight title. However, the Bellator champion is unfazed, even if ‘The Notorious’ McGregor shows up. “I can smash these guys both. I don’t care,” Usman confidently declared. Reacting to his bold attitude, one fan labeled Usman a ‘Chad.’

Tommy Fury Urges Conor McGregor To Fight Him In A Boxing Exhibition
The buzz around a Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul boxing exhibition has died down due to McGregor’s reportedly high fee. Now, Tommy Fury is calling for a fight with McGregor instead. Fury, who was initially set to face KSI, urged McGregor to skip the KSI fight and face him, claiming McGregor should challenge an undefeated fighter like himself. On X, Fury posted:
“@TheNotoriousMMA don’t waste your time with beaten fighters. Fight the man who’s beaten them all and still has his 0. I’ll be waiting.”
